    OS X client now uses discrete/dedicated graphic card on launch

    Hello,

    Using a macbook pro with a discrete/dedicated graphic card, I noticed that with the latest 3.1.X update, teamspeak is requiring a switch and use this dedicated card to run.

    I was quite surprised to notice this as we're here only speaking about audio. I don't think this was intended, so can it be fixed? Otherwise, why this strange choice?

    Regards

    Please do the following:

    for every one that is listed post a screenshot with the card selected. (In above link image that would mean two screenshots).

    [Bug] TS 3.1.3 forces dedicated graphics card on macOS

    Hi!

    I want to bring the following issue to your attention: when starting the newest TeamSpeak 3.1.3 I noticed it forces my Mac (MBP 15" Retina, model 2015, 10.12.4) to activate the dedicated graphics chip. This is not supposed to happen.

    You can try to launch the client with the --force-opengl-soft parameter. No guarantees it does anything on Mac though.

    Has there been any update on this matter? I'm running up to date TS3 client on my mac, and it is still using dedicated GPU since that update. It is annoying as it makes the battery drain faster when unplugged from power, and also makes the computer warmer.

    There is no update for this issue and it looks like there is nothing we can do to change that.

    Since client 3.1 features for web content have been added and we think this is why Mac OS or the graphics driver starts using the dedicated graphics card. It's not in our hands if that's the case.
